While building Zed with nightly rustc I've noticed it doesn't compile
because of good old pathfinder_simd. It also emits a bunch of warnings
about use of f64 literals where f32 is expected, so I've fixed them - it
should make future upgrades more straightforward.
This is necessary to remove some `util` dependencies from crates, as
well as better sharing for our projects. This also includes the WIP
AbsPath abstraction as well as some bug fixes from internal tooling.
Release Notes:
- N/A or Added/Fixed/Improved ...
The recent "pickers with previews" overhaul left the picker
sizing/presentation API spread across several overlapping knobs that
every call site had to set correctly — and many didn't, causing pickers
across the app to render at the wrong width, lose their container, or
stop dismissing. This PR consolidates that surface into a small,
hard-to-misuse API and makes correct sizing the default.
Net effect: a plain `Picker::uniform_list(delegate, …)` now renders
correctly out of the box (standard width, standard max-height, shrinks
to fit, dismisses properly), and the ~35 call sites only specify what
genuinely differs.
## API changes
**Presentation** — three overlapping booleans (`is_modal`, `is_popover`,
`is_resizable`) collapsed into one enum, with resizability living inside
the only variant where it's meaningful:
```rust
enum Presentation {
Modal { resizable: bool }, // own chrome, dismisses on blur, optionally resizable
Popover, // own chrome, dismisses on blur, never resizable
Embedded, // host container owns chrome + dismissal
}
```
- `modal(bool)` is **removed** in favor of explicit, self-documenting
builders:
- *(default)* → `Modal` (resizable iff it has a preview)
- `.popover()` → `Popover` (menu-attached surfaces)
- `.embedded()` → `Embedded` (pickers nested in a larger modal/view)
- Dynamic callers use `.when(cond, Picker::embedded)` (added `impl
FluentBuilder for Picker`).
**Sizing** — preview-vs-not now drives everything; the manual padding
knob is gone:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `vertical_padding` field + `no_vertical_padding()` | removed — derived
from whether a preview is visible |
| `height(...)` (ambiguous: fixed vs max) | `max_height(...)` (plain
pickers shrink-to-fit, capped here) |
| `minimum_results_width(...)` | removed — a plain picker's min width
tracks its opening width; preview pickers use standard internal pane
mins |
| default size = 60% viewport | default = `DEFAULT_MODAL_WIDTH` (34rem)
× `DEFAULT_MODAL_MAX_HEIGHT` (24rem, max) |
| resize handles gated on `is_modal` | gated on `is_resizable` (new
`resizable(bool)` builder; auto-`true` for preview pickers) |
Call sites now only override the exceptions: narrow popover selectors
(`initial_width`), the taller outline view (`max_height`), and preview
pickers (constructed via `*_with_preview`).
## Behavior fixes
- **Wrong widths everywhere**: pickers were falling back to
60%-of-viewport because the original migration set
`minimum_results_width` but never `initial_width`. Fixed at the source
via the new defaults.
- **Popovers had no container and wouldn't dismiss**: `is_modal=false`
was suppressing both the elevated background *and* blur-dismiss. Split
out so popovers keep their chrome and dismiss on click-away/escape. This
fixed the agent-panel model/profile selectors, sidebar recent projects,
and the settings theme/font/icon/ollama pickers (which were incorrectly
using `modal(false)`).
- **Sidebar recent projects stretched to full height**: was missing the
shrink-to-fit behavior; now capped and content-sized like other
popovers.
- **Preview crash**: removed an over-strict `debug_assert!` that
panicked when previewing an empty file (`message == None && editor
empty` is valid).
- **Preview-aware default size**: pickers open at standard width with
the preview hidden, and expand to the larger "telescope" size when a
preview is shown. Fixes the text finder rendering super-wide by default,
and makes the file finder expand (rather than cram its results) when you
toggle the preview.

Release Notes:
- N/A
Overhauls Zed's pickers to make them resizable and give them a preview.
Closes#8279
### Background
The most requested Zed feature has the last year has been a [Telescope
like search box](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8279)
[discussion](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/22581).
To understand why this is so popular we need to understand search can
serve thee goals:
- Navigation: fuzzy search is faster & easier then clicking in a file
tree
- Exploration: example, find a function by a word in its doc comment
- Collecting: example, getting a list of functions to change
The project search which shows results in a multibuffer is the perfect
way to operate on a list of items. Navigation and Exploration need a lot
of context around each result and offer fast navigation between them.
For both of these live searching is also critical.
The `telescope UI` is a picker with a preview to the right or below.
It's offered in various editors and IDE's most famously Neovim (through
the Telescope plugin), IntelliJ (natively), Helix (natively) and of
course VScode (plugins) and it's _many_ forks.
While having a UI like that for text search (our project search) is most
requested the UX pattern is applied widely, from `find_all_references`
to `bookmarks`. It enhances most pickers. Note that we have over 50
different picker modals!
The community has tried to build something like this for Zed:
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/44530
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/45307
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46478
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43790
These all became huge PR's that we could not merge for various reasons.
This is a really hard feature to integrate in Zed!
This PR got started as https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46478
and supercedes that.
### Design
- Extend pickers to support an optional preview with minimal changes to
the pickers themselves.
- Make pickers resizable.
- Complement the existing search do not replace it by having both UI's
share the underlying search and allow freely switching between them.
- Allow extending the preview to things other then files.
- Maintain a clean design on all the pickers.
### Heigh level Implementation overview
- Adds an `Option<Preview>` to `Picker`
- Gives `PickerDelegate` a method to communicate a preview to the Picker
- Overhaul the way pickers are drawn to allow for resizing them.
Implemented on the `Shape` and `SizeBouds` structs.
- Adds a high level way to draw the `footer` and `editor` so we do not
need to change much to the pickers.
- Adds a new text finder Picker
- Adds a way to take a running search from project search and hand it to
the text finder Picker and the other way round
- Give the file finder a preview
### Next steps
A more detailed list and how to help out will be added to the tracking
issue for [Pickes with
previews](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/56037)
- Add more previews to more pickers!
- Enable selectioning multiple items in pickers and performing actions
on those
- Open selected items in a multibuffer
- Add a way to restore the last picker
- Make popovers (picker attached to some menu) resizable as well

Dev container image builds default to BuildKit (`docker buildx`).
Docker-compatible engines that lack an integrated BuildKit — notably
[Apple Container](https://github.com/apple/container) accessed through a
Docker-API bridge — cannot resolve a locally-built image in a `FROM`,
which breaks the dev container build: Zed builds the features image,
then a second `FROM <features-image>` build (the UID remap), and
BuildKit's docker-container/remote drivers can't see the daemon's local
image, failing with `pull access denied`.
The daemon's *classic* builder resolves locally-built images, and Zed
already generates a BuildKit-free Dockerfile for the non-BuildKit path
(multi-stage `FROM` + `COPY --from`, no `RUN --mount`). This wires that
path to a setting and makes the remaining build invocations actually use
the classic builder.
## Changes
- Add a `dev_container_use_buildkit` setting (tri-state):
- unset → auto-detect via the `docker buildx` plugin (current behavior)
- `false` → force the classic builder
- `true` → force BuildKit
- When the classic builder is selected, pass `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0` (and
`COMPOSE_DOCKER_CLI_BUILD=0` for compose) to the feature-content build,
the compose build, and the UID-remap build, so multi-stage `FROM` of a
locally-built image resolves through the daemon's classic builder.
- Document the setting in `docs/src/dev-containers.md`.
With this setting plus a Docker-API bridge, a real Rails dev container
(compose: app + mysql + valkey, with features) builds and starts on
Apple Container.
## How to Review
- `settings_content.rs` / `dev_container/src/lib.rs` — the new setting
and its plumbing into `DevContainerContext`.
- `docker.rs` — `Docker::new` honors the setting
(`supports_compose_buildkit`), `docker_compose_build` selects the
classic builder; unit test
`use_buildkit_setting_overrides_buildx_detection`.
- `devcontainer_manifest.rs` — `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0` for the
feature-content and UID-remap builds.

## Context
Closes#11473
In-house Zed implementation of devcontainers. Replaces the dependency on
the [reference implementation](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) via
Node.
This enables additional features with this implementation:
1. Zed extensions can be specified in the `customizations` block, via
this syntax in `devcontainer.json:
```
...
"customizations": {
"zed": {
"extensions": ["vue", "ruby"],
},
},
```
2.
[forwardPorts](https://containers.dev/implementors/json_reference/#general-properties)
are supported for multiple ports proxied to the host

Release Notes:
- Improved devcontainer implementation by moving initialization and
creation in-house
Handles a panic found in telemetry - when there are no template matches
or feature matches, the picker delegate will panic due to an indexing
exception. This solves by:
1. Returning early if there are no matches, and
2. Performing safe vector `get` operations instead of slicing, so we can
handle a not-found scenario.

Release Notes:
- Fixed potential crash from initializing devcontainer.json
Closes#48683
Per the devcontainer spec, `.devcontainer.json` in the project root is
a valid config location. It is only used when no configurations are
found inside `.devcontainer/`.
Extract `find_configs_in_snapshot` for testability and add tests.
Release Notes:
- Added support for `.devcontainer.json` in project root
It's happeningggggg
Release Notes:
- Changed the Agent Panel so that the Active Thread is restored on
restart.

Adds the ability to create a dev container definition from scratch.
Additionally, separates devcontainer logic out into its own crate, since
it was getting sufficiently complex to separate from the
`recent_projects` crate.
A screen recording of the modal experience:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f6cf95e1-eb7b-4ca3-86c7-c1cbc26ca557
Release Notes:
